Abstract
A flexible and adaptive simulation framework based on Geant4 is presented. The framework has been developed in order to speed up the deployment of full-featured Monte Carlo simulation codes for small/medium sized particle detection experiments with generic geometries. Specific components related to atmospheric muon experiments have been developed and are presented as well.
Highlights
The detection of atmospheric muons for investigating the density structure of target bodies is a growing field with many real-world applications
Monte Carlo simulations are of the utmost importance for atmospheric muon detection experiments, in order to optimize the design of the detector, to estimate the level of the backgrounds and of the expected signals, and so on
These details must be implemented for the specific target structure and detector involved, so the software development effort has to be repeated for each measurement scenario
Summary
The detection of atmospheric muons for investigating the density structure of target bodies is a growing field with many real-world applications. Monte Carlo simulations are of the utmost importance for atmospheric muon detection experiments, in order to optimize the design of the detector, to estimate the level of the backgrounds and of the expected signals, and so on.
